I Remember Judy - Part Twelve

Family Things A hot July turned into an even hotter August that summer, and just like the weather, our romance began to simmer.

I Remember Judy - Part Eleven

In retrospect, it was this trip that put proposing to Judy in my brain. We had seen so much together and would spend just shy of ten thousand miles together without a single spat in some sweltering weather.

I Remember Judy - Part Seven

Love Is In The Air As the weeks and months went by, our relationship grew stronger. Yes, we had the occasional disagreement. You wouldn’t be truthful or human if you try to tell me you have never disagreed with your ‘significant other.’ We had disagreed on occasions, but one thing that my father...

I Remember Judy - Part Six

Walking On Sunshine The next few weeks were wonderful days for us. Everyone saw a new kick in Judy’s step and a bigger smile on her face. While my original intention was to make her understand what she meant to me, it seemed to have given her an entirely new outlook on life. She was still shy, but... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - Part Five

Let’s Eat In Tonight! A week after the fair, Judy and Lois asked Steve and me over to eat at their apartment. We had always taken the girls out and thought it would be nice to be served a meal that they had made. Steve had made a wisecrack about this being a test run for future marriage, something...

I Remember Judy - Part Three

Moving Forward When we left McDonald’s, Judy and I agreed to try to ‘get together’ as soon as we could. It wasn’t as easy as you might think. She was an OB nurse working five-midnight shifts a week, and I was a paramedic working three or four twenty-four-hour shifts a week. All too often, our shifts... Sign in to see full entry.
